    Excuse me while I pick my jaw up from the floor. Forget the fact that he has Downs for one moment, he had *open heart surgery **_this year_* !? How many professional athletes would have attempted this? Serious question here, how many professional athletes would have continued to train and then compete in the same 12 months as they'd had open heart surgery? Especially something as draining as an Ironman race? I'm flabbergasted.
    Should you read this Chris, I think that you're bloody amazing! Even when I was your age, and an avid swimmer and cyclist (I hated running lol), I couldn't let alone wouldn't have been able to compete in a long-distance event in _one_ of the sports I did. Keep on running, my friend, you're an inspiration to us all.

    I am a Muslim girl, and as I say a Muslim, this expresses my love and respect for you, and I do not hate any religion, and I do not carry in my heart a hatred for anyone because we are. In the end, we are human beings, we are equal, and no person is better than a human being. We are all equal, so I hope that every human being will bear love before hate, and it is more beautiful that we respect, love and respect difference. There is nothing more beautiful than love and respect for others, even though they are different from you as a human being. I just say positive words. Very simple person and I am an Arab. I wish all Arab and Western countries peace, love and respect for the other. Note that my words have nothing to do with the video❤️🙏🕊☪️✝️✡️🌸

      You copy/paste the same message in every video here. Normally, I wouldn’t say anything, but since you insist, I just want you to know that you are a part of a cult of violence and oppression & your prophet was a murdering pedophile who ripped off another religion and proclaimed himself a god. Praying that you let Jesus into your heart! 😊😊😊

    • @ART-gr9zn
      @ART-gr9zn 3 года назад +1

      T MFirstly, if my religion is violent, then there are a billion peaceful Muslims, and no one has been killed like a Muslim girl? I don't like killing a single soul. We are peaceful and all religions have a bad person. This does not mean that we are all bad. Please do not insult the Messenger or my sanctities, and I respect and love all religions because we are human in the end. I like to repeat my comment because I love it, because I believe in it, and because it is outside of who. heart.

      @@ART-gr9zn Islam is certainly right about women. But no religion has as much hatred for everyone else as Muslims. I understand that American leftists and Neo-Cons kicked the hornets nest first, but you guys don’t understand that you’re just another satanic cult fighting another satanic America cabal. We Christians love you and welcome you with open arms, away from a religion that leads toward damnation and toward everlasting life through Jesus.

      T M First, I don't like to talk about politics. Second: You must respect my religion and its sanctities, and respect your religion and your sanctities. If you offend your sanctities, you will be upset. There are Christians who have Muslim relatives who respect and love each other. we are human beings
